Yes! This is the day that we close on our house. We are so excited that we finally found one. We had a tough time with people accepting our offers. We finally realized that we should probably quit putting offers on foreclosures and short sales and just buy one from a seller. We can't wait to move in, but are def. not excited about buying a refrigerator, lawn mower, edger, and all the other things that are necessary. The house is in Rowlett, TX, just a few minutes from where Sean grew up. We will actually be attending the ward that he grew up in except that it has split into two wards so not everyone he knows will be in that ward.




Also this weekend is Tax Free here in good old Texas. For you who have no idea what that is it is where you can buy clothes and other things worn on your body for ZERO tax only if it is under $100. You actually on save about $8 for every $100 that you spend, but people love it and work has been great and crazy. Sean's store is also doing exceptionally well. I am just so proud of him! I think I say that in every blog, but seriously he is doing a great job!!!

So life is just Rockin and Rollin for the Russells!

What the future holds

So as you all know Sean and I moved to Clovis, NM in November of 2007. We were not exactly thrilled about this, but we were excited that Sean became a manager and was progressing in his job so of course we would go where ever they told us to. The point of this blog is that we have already seen so many great things come from us living in Clovis. One being GREAT friends that will be life long. On Sunday, Andy and Anjelica came in from Clovis to watch the Red Sox play the Texas Rangers. So was a blast seeing and hanging out with them again.
Then on Thursday of this week we are bringing them over to Plano and to see Seans new store. Then as we were looking at houses yesterday we got a call from our friend James who we met in Clovis. He is the manager of Alltel who is now Verizon. He told us that he is moving to Plano. CRAZY!!!! Sean and James are great friends who love to play video games while i just watch TV. The one thing that we really loved about Clovis was the people we met and I love that fact that we will see a lot of them again sometime in the future. As I was talking to Sean's mom yesterday I told her how cool it is that we are already running into people from other places we have lived. I know that this is going to happen a lot through out our lives and I am so excited about it. This is just another reason why Clovis was a blessing in our lives and were so grateful that we had the opportunity to live there for a year and a half.

P-I-C-T-U-R-E-S

I went up to Sean's store this morning to take some photos for everyone to see. It was a great time to take some pictures because they had just opened which means the store should be really clean. Anyway here are some photos of his store!!Love it
